Google Instant, FB Chat & Netflix streaming doesn't work ? Mac replacement?

February of 2010 I had an issue where Facebook chat did not work, I would sign into facebook and there wouldn't even been an option for facebook, like it never existed.
Summer of 2010 I upgraded to Snow Leopard and did a complete wipe and install, started from scratch.
This fixed the problem. I later got netflix and enjoyed watching movies on my mac.
Then.. out of nowhere, facebook chat issue comes back, netflix doesn't work and says my computer doesn't meet the requirements (sarfar 3 and up, and 1Gb ram - i have safari 5 and 2g ram). And then google instant was released as well and that doesnt work. All while my girlfriends (summer 10') mac book pro works fine, as well as my cousins Mac Book Pro (Summer 09'), works just fine.
Oh and all three +google instant, fb chat and netflix+ dont work with either safari, firefox or chrome.
Here's what I have done so far.
Called apple. Reinstalled Safari, firefox, chrome. Uninstalled, installed flashplayer. Called netflix, said it was apples problem, called apple said it was netflix.
Then..
Went to Mall of America apple. Booted from their own copy of Mac OS X 10.6.5 from jump HD and everything worked! He said all I have to do is find my Snow Leopard disk, hold C and boot up computer and just install it again.
Just did that and it doesn't work, no change whatsoever.
I really do NOT want to do a complete wipe and install, that was a huge hassle, and I could not do a simple time machine back up and install because whatever is in my current OS would be exported into the new OS installation, get it? So I lost many files, playlists, music, bookmarks, documents, pictures.
This is the second time this has happened, what is my guarantee it wont happen a third time? It is definitely an OSX error or bug, but I have also had my track pad replaced three times since summer 2009, and a MagSafe battery adaptor replacement! Is there ever a time where Apple just replaces my MacBook?! I just upgraded to the 2 year extension, what will happen after 2 years? assuming my trackpad will need to be replaced 3x's every year and a OS reinstallation twice ever year?
What are my options?

That was very helpful. I didn't know "escalate" was the key word to get his problem solved. So thanks!
The Apple Support specialist said that if the trackpad fails a 4th time, and I ask to escalate that issue, then they would replace my whole Mac Book Pro.
As for the netflix, fb chat and google instant. This was an issue caused by Net Barrier, a 3rd party program that deals with online security, and also that I had deleted. However, the startup items for this program were still intact.
Solution
Boot windows in Safe Mode (power + shift key) and test for changes.
if it works in Safe Mode...
go to Macintosh HD>Library>startupitems
move all files under startupitems to the trash and reboot the computer.
This is what solved my issue! Hope this is helpful to anyone else with a similar issue.

Netflix streaming doesn't work (support reps said to contact my computer's manufacturer)

Basically I've been unable to stream Netflix on my computer since I bought it in 2012. I contacted Netflix customer support today and we troubleshot for a few hours and their research team determined the issue was my computer was not communicating with my browser(s) properly. They recommended I contact HP about the problem.
Not sure what HP can do to help, but I guess it's worth a shot. :/
My pc is an H8-1110

HT201317 Photo stream doesn't work wen I take photo,photos doesn't appear in photo stream ?

Photo stream doesn't work , wen I take photo, photos doesn't appear in photo stream

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Photo stream doesn't work on my PC

My photo stream doesn't work on my PC. I'm signed in, and have photo stream on, but it won't load any of my photos.

Okay several views and no replies later I did some more research myself and tried something different.
I reset my photo stream following these directions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4890
Then I went into iCloud control panel on my laptop and signed out it told me photostream was turned off and the folder my pictures were stored in. I looked and saw a picture I took this morning in there YAY. So I then signed into iCloud again and turned photostream back on and took a picture with my iPhone and now my photos are streaming again.
Hope this helps someone else.

After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.

In what way? Your MyPhotoStream photos will show in in the Photos.app in the "Recently Added" album, but their is no longer a "My Photo Stream" album.
If you enabled "iCloud Photo Library Beta" in the "Video/Photos" Settings, disable it. This will prevent the Photo Stream from syncing from your Macs to the iOS 8 devices.

I purchased an I pad giving my macbook to my husband. His photo stream doesn't work but mine still goes onto macbook . How can I stop that ?

Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts? If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password. If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

Photo stream doesn't work

Dear all,
I make a photo (on Iphone 4 or Ipad2) and these photos do not appear anywhere else, while Photo stream is put On. on all three devices (ipad, iPhone, Mac Book Pro iPhoto). Do I miss a button? Is it because I migrated from mobileme to iCloud? I have no clue! Please help.

I followed your advise, but it doesn't work. Photos made with iPad works now (after putting all photo stream on and off), but iPhone 4 is not photostreaming at all (also not after redoing what you advised), also iPad photo does not appear on iPhone 4.
Strange is that i see two icloud photostream albums in Photo application (both (staying) empty). I can imagine there is a conflict with the two icloud accounts (i first used apple id for buying in itunes (hoped to merge) and than rethought and activated icloud (mobileMe) account instead. Could that be the problem? And how to get rid of that (restarting iPhone didn't work, a reset I am not fond of, nore a restore.
Who knows the answer?

Photo Stream doesn't work on Windows 7 (64-bit)

I installed Photo Stream and it just doesn't work. Are there any additional steps I have to take? I see "Photo Stream" icon in "My Computer" but photos are not syncing. iOS 6.1.3, iPhone 4S.

If you are needing more drivers and Lenovo utilities I suggest you download and install ThinkVantage SystemUpdate.
Should you still be missing something after running it I suggest you post what you think is missing, or what you need, in order that other members can assist you.

TS3989 'Options' button for Photo Stream doesn't work?

When I go to Photo Stream, it says I'm not signed in. The resolution says to select Photo Stream and click Options, but nothing happens when I do so. Why won't the Options button work and what can I do?

On-demand streaming doesn't work

I want to config the on-demand Adobe MEdia Server on Amazon.
I've done all steps from this instruction http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/amazonec2/WS6fc2df2b6d2ce24359910e2812c396a83 eb-7ff8.2.html, but it doesn't work.
I check the sample video files in player http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/#
For the video
rtmp://ec2-54-234-27-150.compute-1.amazonaws.com//vod/sample.flv
it says 'Buffering' and nothing more
For the video
http://ec2-54-234-27-150.compute-1.amazonaws.com/vod/hds_sample1_manifest.f4m
it says 'We are having problems with playback. We apologize for the inconvenience'
What's the problem?
I checked the player on this page http://ec2-54-234-27-150.compute-1.amazonaws.com , it works fine

Ask in the FMS forum.

</embed>
</object>
on Safari and Firefox but it doesn't work!!!
Does anyone know why?
Is it a FSM problem or Flash Player problem?
Thanks in advance

Ok,
the solution is that mac os system doesn't accept the locale hostname but the IP name,
so "rtmp://my-server" has to be replaced with "rtmp://IP-address".

Hi, streaming doesn't work

Try uninstalling the reinstalling the latest version of Flash, then repair permissions.
Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Repair permissions...
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Netflix Streaming No Longer Working

I am no longer able to (Watch Instantly) Stream Netflix videos. I get a page that in essence says my computer doesn't measure up to Netflix's System Requirements. My Mac exceeds Netflix 's requirements - (OS10.8.2, Safari 6, Firefox 17, and the latest Chrome). Netflix says it's a problem with my Apple OS software, that either it's true or it appears to be true due to some corruption of my Apple software, or it's a communication issue in which my computer isn't giving up it's data.
Could it be a port issue?
This problem is on all networks I've connected to but our other Mac (same specs. and routers and networks) doesn't have this problem at all.
HELP!!!! PLEASE!!!!
I connect to the site and account without any problems, just can't Stream.

ALL BETTER NOW..... after alot of calls... to Netflix, D-Link, Apple, and even Microsloth (Silverlight is used by Netflix) I had a brain storm.... I checked my firewall settings and viola!, I had made one setting long ago that doesn't get along with the upgraded version of Netflix's streaming feature. Once I changed the setting (unchecked 'Hide information about my computer and browsres') all was restored.

Pls playlist of mp3 live stream doesn't work properly, what to do?

Can others confirm the following issue with a live mp3 stream on version 7.0.2.16 on windows xp (sp2):
Go to wnyc.org and click on the AM or FM live stream (32k) links at the top left of the page. They should link to either of the following urls:
http://www.wnyc.org/stream/fm.pls
http://www.wnyc.org/stream/am.pls
Open these playlists with the current iTunes for windows. You should hear a 15 second sponsor pre-roll for this NPR station, and the live stream should start after that. I only hear the pre-roll, and then iTunes skips to the next item in the library.
Do you only hear the sponsor pre-roll, and then nothing OR does it work properly for you? If not, what to do?

Reboot your computer in Safe Mode and then try to reset all Skype settings.
Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Reboot in normal mode and try to start Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.
